IEEE
Communications Society The IEEE CQR International Workshop is held annually with the purpose of bringing together industry and academic experts to present and discuss communications quality, reliability and security issues as they relate to real world issues. The output from the workshops adds to the community's body of knowledge and serves to inform, help form opinion, and to assist in the development of best practice and relevant standards. Continuing the tradition of this series of workshops, CQR 2014 will provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present results of ongoing research in the areas listed below. This year, special focus will be on the challenging issues related to the requirements, metrics, measurement, management, and dissemination of Communications Quality & Reliability. David Lu, Vice President, AT&T and Hang Nguyen, Senior Principal Engineer, Intel are Keynote Speakers. Please see the Keynote page for their bios. The Workshop has two program tracks: Industry-focused Strategic Track and Technical Paper Track. For the Strategic Track, 3 themes are organized into three segments with one segment on each day.
Segment 1 (Tuesday, May 13):
Cloud/SDN/NFV/Domain 2.0 Services Our networks are changing from being confined to traditional models of servers in a single building or buildings defining a network to software defined network (SDN) or Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and scaling capacity by leveraging cloud architectures. This segment will focus on how we use these architectures and technologies to build and scale our networks in a highly reliable manner.
Segment 2 (Wednesday, May 14):
Security This segment will focus on “New Threats in a Connected World”. As the blurring of mobile and wired worlds converge, network technology requires a major change to the typical network perimeter-based security architectures. As carriers search for increased operational efficiencies and strive to reduce operational expenses, many have turned to virtualization technologies. Virtualization technology holds great promise, but comes with a unique set of challenges that must be considered carefully in order to provide a highly secure and reliable environment. There are new risk areas including protocols, interfaces, gateways, controllers, third-party applications, virtualized platforms and centralized policy management. Bringing simplicity, reliability, and innovation to the machine-driven ecosystems of tomorrow through network intelligence is critical to safeguarding our consumers and securing these new threats .
Segment 3 (Thursday, May 15):
Beyond Macro The networks are growing as a result of user’s insatiable for more and more data. This segment will focus on this desire of more data everywhere…all the time…no matter the location (home, congested venues/city centers, etc) and how does our industry meet this challenge with new technologies but still maintain the standard our communications industry has set for highly reliable and scalable networks. In addition, there are 3 Panels:

Panel:
Cloud and Security
(Wednesday,
May 14)
SDN and NFV will move from the research phase to production deployments by enterprises and service providers in 2014. Cloud Services and the fabric that supports them will need to have security and interoperability concerns answered as service providers look to drive immediate revenue opportunities while lower OPEX and CAPEX in both distributed and cloud data centers. It marks the creation and adaptation of an open framework with less central offices and more network equipment data centers. Traditional network Infrastructure will no longer be dedicated anchors but applications running in virtual environments that will still need to be monitored and managed with SLA’s and performance objectives. Is your organization ready to separate from bare metal, proprietary OS and legacy networking solutions to a hardware agnostic, merchant silicon, virtual ecosystem?
Distinguished Expert Panel:
The Internet, the Web and smart mobile devices have moved telecommunications into the data domain augmenting – and sometimes replacing - it with text and video. Global resources - network, machine and human - are called upon to support even simple voice calls and chat sessions. Multiple identifications on multiple networks are available, including phone numbers, email addresses, and ecosystem IDs such as Skype, FaceTime and Gmail. While the various networks and ecosystems may be closed, we expect seamless interworking between them all as well as privacy, security and a good end-user experience. This panel of experts will discuss the future of telecommunications networks as they are being shaped by contemporary technologies including WebRTC, SDN, Cloud, 4G, 5G and more.
Operations Panel:
Making the
Cloud Work
(Wednesday, May 14)
“Cloud” is a growing and very dynamic area of networking and business. Its architecture and performance driven by rapid scaling capability and attractive service economics is fundamentally different than past networks. Cloud serves different market segments from small business websites to best effort messaging to global e-commerce to mission-critical applications and business functions. How do we define service and network reliability in this context and then run these networks to achieve that reliability? Issues to discuss include:
For questions on the Strategic Track, please contact the General Program Co-Chairs. ************************************* For the Technical Paper Track, you are invited to submit a paper related to various aspects of QoS and Reliability for the following networks/services:
The detailed technical area includes:
Technical Paper Submission Guidelines Papers should describe original work, and be 4-6 two-column and single-spaced pages in IEEE conference style. The first page should indicate the email addresses of the corresponding author. Paper submission must be made via EDAS https://edas.info/16463. Manuscript Templates can be found on http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html, where a template of US Letter size is available. You can also download the template by clicking here msw_usletter_format_nov12.doc Papers accepted for CQR 2014 will be included in the Workshop Proceedings, IEEE XPlore, and EI Index, with the exception that IEEE reserves the right to exclude any paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. Papers that are removed from IEEE Xplore will not be available through the EI Index. For questions on the Technical Paper Track, please contact the Technical Program Secretary Ken-Ichi Suzuki |
